FDH Bank has rescued 10 Malawi University for Science and Technology (Must) students courtesy of a K62.5 million-worth scholarship fund the bank is implementing.<\/p>\n
FDH Bank Deputy Managing Director, William Mpinganjira, said the fund will support the students throughout their five-year stay at the university.<\/p>\n
Mpinganjira said, apart from the scholarships, FDH Bank has also opened internship opportunities for 10 students at the university.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis show show committed we, as a bank, are to support the government in driving the education sector forward,\u201d Mpinganjira said.<\/p>\n
He said, being a home-bred and home-grown bank, FDH takes prides in its commitment to corporate social responsibility.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor the beneficiaries of this fund, I urge you to make the most if it and one of the areas we will look at is your academic performance. I am very positive that you will make it and that we will gather here in a few years to celebrate your graduation,\u201d Mpinganjira said.<\/p>\n
Must Vice Chancellor, Address Malata, thanked FDH Bank for the sponsorship.<\/p>\n
She said it is sad to see needy students at the college failing to find money for buying food and other necessities.<\/p>\n
Malata said although government provides loan facilities to students in institutions of higher learning, not all of them have the chance to get the loans.<\/p>\n
Speaking on behalf of the students, Chisomo Kanthanga, a Medical Microbiology student, praised FDH Bank for coming to their rescue.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe promise to work hard in class and behave responsibly throughout our stay here,\u201d Kanthanga said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
